Randi Drasin, MS, RDN

Randi Drasin is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who has over 25 years experience in the fitness industry. She was a recreational gymnast as a young girl and began weight training in 1986 after graduating from California State University, Northridge with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communications. She then became a Certified Personal Fitness Trainer in 1989, and both a PE coach and gymnastics coach in 1996.

RANDI’S FITNESS FOR KIDS was created in order to have a career that would allow her daughter to be with her vs being in day care. In 1996 she decided to combine her gymnastics and fitness skills and create a company that would provide after school fitness classes for kids, thus the creation of Randi’s Fitness for Kids!

Randi spent the first several years teaching the classes on her own, then began to hire independent contractors to teach additional classes promoting the arts and fitness. After a few more years she had to step away from teaching in order to manage the company. Throughout the last 20 years, Randi’s Fitness for Kids has been in over 40 schools, both private and public as well as providing programs to children in need. Many scholarships are provided for families who struggle financially. During this time, Randi was also a PE specialist for kindergarden children for over 12 years and was the director of Gymnastics and Cheerleading camps for 15 years.

Throughout the years, Randi’s Fitness has expanded to include programming at treatment programs for teens and women as well as enrichment therapy for seniors in Adult Day Health Centers.
